Vasileva T.I. & Legostaeva Y.B. (2023): Calcium oxalates in soils within disturbed landscapes and rock on the territory of Yakutia (Russia), formation conditions in a sharply continental cryoarid climate - Minerals, 13(5): 659 [16 p.]

The formation of oxalates in soils and rocks under conditions of cryoarid climate, permafrost and taiga vegetation was studied. Whewellite and weddellite were found in four areas associated with the mining industry: on the kimberlite deposit of the Daldyn territory, in the lower reaches of the Markha River of the Central Yakut Plain, and on the coastal outcrop of the Allah-Yun Sellah-Khotun ore cluster. Whewellite was found in the upper organic horizon of Skeletic Cryosol (Thixotropic) (sample 151) … Read more...

La Torre R.D., Ramos D., Mejía M.D., Neyra E., Loarte E. & Orjeda G. (2023): Survey of lichenized fungi DNA barcodes on King George Island (Antarctica): an aid to species discovery - Journal of Fungi, 9(5): 552 [19 p.]

DNA barcoding is a powerful method for the identification of lichenized fungi groups for which the diversity is already well-represented in nucleotide databases, and an accurate, robust taxonomy has been established. However, the effectiveness of DNA barcoding for identification is expected to be limited for understudied taxa or regions. One such region is Antarctica, where, despite the importance of lichens and lichenized fungi identification, their genetic diversity is far from characterized. The … Read more...

Martellos S., Conti M. & Nimis P.L. (2023): Aggregation of Italian lichen data in ITALIC 7.0 - Journal of Fungi, 9(5): 556 [12 p.]

The creation of a coordinated publishing and aggregation system of biodiversity data is a challenging task, which calls for the adoption of open data standards. ITALIC, the information system on Italian lichens, originated from the conversion of the first Italian checklist into a database. While the first version was “frozen”, the present version is continuously updated and provides access to several other data sources and services, such as ecological indicator values, ecological notes and information, … Read more...

Coca L.F., Gómez Gómez S., Guzmán Guillermo J., Trujillo Trujillo E., Clavijo L., Zuluaga A., Dal Forno M. & Lumbsch H.T. (2023): Sulzbacheromyces leucodontium (Basidiomycota, Lepidostromataceae), a new species of basidiolichen widely distributed in the Neotropics - Phytotaxa, 597(2): 153–164

As a result of botanical and lichenological expeditions in the Colombian Andean-Amazonian Piedmont, in the Brazilian Amazon, and in Veracruz, Mexico, a new species of Sulzbacheromyces was discovered and is here described based on morphological, anatomical, and molecular characters. S. leucodontium differs from other neotropical species in the genus by having white basidiomata and colonial algae in the thallus and represents the species with the widest distribution of the genus in the Americas, … Read more...

Beckett R.P., Roach T., Minibayeva F. & Werth S. (2023): Alternative electron transport pathways contribute to tolerance to high light stress in lichenized algae - Physiologia Plantarum, 175: e13904

The photosynthetic apparatus of lichen photobionts has been well-characterized by chlorophyll fluorescence analysis (e.g., by pulse amplitude modulation [PAM]), which provides a proxy of the activity of photosystem II (PSII) and its antenna. However, such kinetics are unable to directly characterize photosystem I (PSI) activity and the associated alternative electron pathways that may be involved in photoprotection. Instead, PSI can be probed in vivo by near-infrared absorption, measured at the same … Read more...

Frolov I.V. & Prokopiev I.A. (2023): The poorly known in Russia sporodochial lichen genus Sporodophoron (Arthoniaceae) with one species new to the country and continental Eurasia - Turczaninowia, 26(1): 136-144

The genus Sporodophoron (Arthoniaceae, lichenized Ascomycota) is characterized by whitish, convex, and usually discrete or rarely becoming confluent sporodochia and conidia formed in zigzag-shaped and occasionally branched chains. It consists of four species, and only S. primorskiense was known in Russia, in a single locality in the Primorye Territory. Here we report the second locality of S. primorskiense and two localities of new to Russia S. gossypi-num, all from the deciduous and mixed forests … Read more...

Zulfiqar R., Razzaq F., Habib K. & Khalid A.N. (2023): Pachypeltis phoenicopta, an Interesting Lichenicolous Lichen and Flavoplaca flavocitrina (Lichenized Ascomycetes: Teloschistaceae) from Pakistan - Biology Bulletin, 50(3): 356–361

Flavoplaca flavocitrina and Pachypeltis phoenicopta are reported as new to Pakistan. The genus Pachypeltis is the first report for Pakistan. The descriptions for both species based on the taxonomic examinations of the Pakistan's specimens are provided along with ITS-based phylogenetic analysis and notes on ecology and distribution. Key-words: distribution, Kohistan, morphology, phylogeny, taxonomy, Caloplaca-citrina Group, region, fungi. Read more...

Killari K., Polimati H., Prasanth D., Singh G., Panda S., Vedula G. & Tatipamula V. (2023): Salazinic acid attenuates male sexual dysfunction and testicular oxidative damage in streptozotocin-induced diabetic albino rats - Rsc Advances, 13(19): 12991-13005

Male sexual dysfunctions such as infertility and impotence are recognized as the consequences of diabetes. Salazinic acid (Sa) is a depsidone found in lichen genera of Lobaria, Parmelia, and Usnea, which has prominent free radical and alpha-glucosidase inhibitory actions. The present study establishes the beneficial role of salazinic acid (Sa) to combat the deleterious effects of streptozotocin-induced diabetes on the male reproductive system of rats. In a dose-dependent manner, Sa significantly … Read more...

Marty C., Fradette O., Duchesne L., Faubert P., Ouimet R. & Villeneuve C. (2023): Natural regeneration potential and dynamics in boreal lichen woodlands of eastern Canada following soil scarification - Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 6: E0yw5

Boreal lichen woodlands (LWs) are stable low tree-density zones of the Canadian boreal forest whose afforestation has been proposed as a way to create new C sinks and thus mitigate climate change. Planting operations in these remote areas are however costly and time-consuming, and may not be necessary when soil scarification is followed by dense natural regeneration. In the present study, we assessed the natural regeneration potential and dynamics in six boreal LWs of Quebec, Canada, 11 years after … Read more...

Tanaka M., Baek S., Tochigi K., Naganuma T., Inagaki A., Dewi B. & Koike S. (2023): Conditions affecting ant nesting in stumps in a temperate coniferous planted forest - Forest Ecology and Management, 537: E1yx8

Dead trees are an important component of forest ecosystems as they play various roles in these ecosystems and their biodiversity. The use of dead trees as a habitat and foraging resource by various organisms affects the decomposition of the trees. Ants use dead trees as nests and slow their decomposition by weakening the function of decomposers, such as fungi and termites, through interspecific interactions. However, our understanding of the characteristics of dead trees in which ants nest and the … Read more...
